Detroit Tigers Team Notes Over 3 Million Views!!! Thankyou!

February 2 in Tigers and mlb history:

1876: The National League is formed in New York City at the instigation of William Hulbert, owner of the Chicago White Stockings, in reaction to the lack of central direction in the fledgling National Association. The new circuit will field eight teams in its inaugural season and will become the blueprint for professional team sports in North America.

1923: Red Schoendienst is born in Germantown, Illinois. Playing mostly as a second baseman, Schoendienst will bat .289 during a 19-year career mainly with the St. Louis Cardinals, who he will later manage to a World Championship. He will win election to the Hall of Fame in 1989.

1936: Ty Cobb is named to the inaugural class of baseball's Hall of Fame with more votes than any other former player.
Georgian Gets 222 Votes, 4 Short of Perfect Score and 7 More Than Ruth and Wagner.
Mathewson and Johnson Only Others With Enough Ballots to Be Named in Nation-Wide Poll.

1936: The Baseball Writers Association of America announces the results of the first Hall of Fame vote. Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson, Christy Mathewson and Honus Wagner comprise the inaugural class of Hall of Fame members. Several other stars like Cy Young fail to make the grade, but will enter the Hall in later elections.

1978: Day of Infamy: The San Diego Padres signed Mickey Lolich as a free agent.

1987: The Detroit Tigers signed Nate Snell as a free agent.

1989: Former All-Star first baseman Bill White is elected president of the National League. White succeeds Chub Feeney, becoming the first African-American to be named president of either league and the highest-ranking black executive in the four major sports.

2004: The Tigers introduce new free agent signing Iv?n Rodr?guez. #Pudge #HOF

Tigers? projected lineup ranked 29th in MLB, topping only Orioles?.
Detnews

f'n disgusting.

The teams were ranked (pay site) based on projected 2020 production in these categories: strikeout percentage, walk percentage, power, speed and balance (how well a lineup matches up against both lefties and righties).

?It's a nasty confluence of factors,? says ESPN?s Bradford Doolittle. ?The Tigers' base lineup projects to strike out the most of any of these groups, while walking less frequently than all but one team and ranking third-to-last in isolated power. It can't be easy to put together a roster with that particular combination of factors. The future will be better. It has to be.?

The Tigers struck out an MLB-record 1,595 times last season. They earned 391 walks, and only the Chicago White Sox had fewer (378). f'n disgusting.

The Tigers, who won an MLB-worst 47 games, are ranked by ESPN above only the Baltimore Orioles, who won 54, second-worst in MLB. The top three lineups are the Houston Astros, Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets.

The recently-retired outfielder had a tremendous career, but his best year may have been in the Motor City after a trip to the World Series.
